To: "Dick Griffin" , "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" , "Steve Friedrich" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi to all who are/were interested. I figured this out. This card requires that "ChipID 0x4755" be added to the XF86Config file under the "Device configured by xf86Config" section. I had omitted the "0x" portion of the chip identifier number. Thanks to all who responded. dg ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: ppp connects the times out????

Add your ISPs nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf See man resolv.conf for details Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
